Today is the day Telstra will shut down the CDMA mobile network. Any CDMA phones must  be transferred urgently to avoid disconnection.

It’s taken two and a half years but tonight Telstra will pull the plug on the CDMA mobile network.  From midnight it will not be possible to make or receive calls over the CDMA network.

CDMA phones are not compatible with the replacement NextG network. Any individuals or schools with CDMA phones must replace them with NextG phones urgently to prevent disconnection. Any phone that is not transferred will cease working at midnight tonight and may be disconnected by Telstra.

A list of NextG mobile phones with costs and information on data plans is available on the Service Desk website at

Contact the Service Desk (x5000) or servicedesk@une.edu.au if you have questions about the CDMA shut down.
